‘It’s all about effort’: AFL stars attempt to create this iconic cake for its anniversary
- Replies 1
The Sydney Swans are renowned for their prowess on the AFL field and unwavering dedication to their fans.
In a delightful twist of tradition and team spirit, the Sydney Swans AFL players took on a challenge that was a far cry from their usual athletic endeavours.
To mark the club's 150th anniversary, they decided to swap their footballs for spatulas and recreate the iconic 'Duck cake' from the Australian Women’s Weekly.
The result? A hilarious culinary misadventure and 'sloppy disaster' that has since taken the internet by storm.
The Swans' social media was abuzz with a video showcasing their valiant efforts in cake decorating, which they humorously admitted was 'as close to a swan as we could get'.
The caption read, ‘It’s all about effort, right? Sorry.’
The Swans tagged the Australian Women’s Weekly magazine, perhaps as a cheeky acknowledgment of their inspiration.
The video, which has garnered over 240,000 views, revealed a series of cakes that bear little resemblance to the polished and adorable duck featured in the famous cookbook.
The cake decorating competition was judged by TV host and cook Courtney Roulston, who had the challenge of crowning a winner among the quirky confections.
While player Will Hayward made a notable attempt, Lucy Mcevoy triumphed with her rendition of the Women’s Weekly cult favourite.
Viewers were quick to share their reactions in the comments section, with one person jokingly saying, 'Straight out of a horror movie.'
‘I hope they tasted better than they looked,’ added another.
Even the Australian Women’s Weekly couldn't resist commenting on the fun.
They responded with good humour, deeming the efforts 'close enough'.
‘Maybe a swan cake is the next addition to the classic birthday cake book,’ they said.
